This iron age hill fort is sat on top of what is probably one of the highest points in Oxfordshire. The views from here, particularly on a clear day, are absolutely spectacular. Don't expect castle walls or ruins but do expect an impressive series of earthwork ramparts and defensive ditches. It is close by the White Horse monument, Dragon Hill and Wayland Smithy which all add to the ancient ambience of the area. Well worth a visit, early morning or late at night if you prefer less other visitors around. There is a car park a short 10 or 15 minute walk away which charges a small fee but is free to National Trust and also English Heritage members.
A must visit is Uffington Castle an early Iron Age hillfort situated on White Horse Hill near the famous White Horse. a 3,000-year-old Bronze Age chalk geoglyph. A great area to walk, fabulous 360° views of the surrounding countryside and also if like me into Birdlife plenty of Red Kites to photograph. Plenty of parking nearby at the National Trust car park which i believe is also free to English Heritage members
Lovely morning walk, took just under 2 hours to walk all the way around and over the place. Not a good one for dog walkers, too many livestock. National trust parking, £2-2 hours, £4-all day. Cash or online ticketing. Disabled car park located further on from main car park closer to the castle fort. Lots of up hill walking, loved it.
Uffington is absolutely beautiful and so relaxing. The views are gorgeous and the weather is lovely. No ticket needed to enter and parking is pretty cheap (£2 for 2 hours).
A phenomenal walk across sheep land and up to the once was castle. We had seen the sign and assumed there would be a castle or at the very least remains of one. Unfortunately, its just a field of grass and thistles. That said, the walk across the field past all the sheep and up the hill was relaxing and the views quite simply stunning. There was ample car parking in the one car park, annoyingly you have to pay. (There is also a disabled car parking area the other side of the field nearest to the castle). There were no facilities that we could see, that being toilets & coffee shop which was a shame. There is no cost other than the car park to visit.
